Heartbreaking. I was out yesterday and went to shelter under a tree briefly then remembered you shouldn't, got soaked in the rain. John White, the great inside forward in the Spurs double team sheltered under a tree during a thunderstorm while playing golf and was killed by a lightning strike. I wa...

His 100 seems to have come up very quickly but then I realised he’s been first choice for three seasons now.

Proved to be a terrific signing for us.

Yes the demise of Stoke in the PL was rapid. They never flirted with relegation, ending up mid table every season with European football and an FA Cup final thrown in. Even when they changed Pulis for Hughes they maintained their mid table position. It ended for them in the space of one season duri...

I thought that OP was referring to the fact that Debenhams is closing down. Along with the fact that Beales has already closed, Bournemouth town centre is in a sorry state. Mark’s and Spencers and various other retailers have also gone. Where will it all end? It’s becoming a ghost town. M&S gone? M...

The players are talismanic more then they are great players. Same with Wolves and Jimenez. The players mentioned instill a belief in others that they can be the game changer so the others raise their game. Mark them out of the game and generally the teams can be beaten. Jiménez is a good shout to a...

Is the lead applicant going to be able to complete the health questionnaire accurately for everyone in their group?

That’s a good question given that we don’t know what’s going to be asked in any case.

We got beat at Southampton by Danny Ings the same applies to
Newcastle. Asm
West Ham. Antonio

If those 3 had not have been playing we would have come away with something

I’m not sure I’d put Antonio at the same level in terms of his team’s dependence on him but he always causes us problems.

Does anyone know the situation with his contract, I understand there is only a year left on it now. Does that mean he is free to talk to potential suitors? Or even better has anyone heard if he is likely to be offered a new contract or accept it? Manager contracts are not like player contracts in t...

I’m currently watching Aston Villa, without Jack Grealish, beating Crystal Palace, with Wilfried Zaha. So much has been said about how important they are to their respective teams and how the teams are not as effective without them. I think we can also throw Danny Ings & Allan Saint-Maximin into the...

I thought it was there to highlight wrongs. Besides off sides they can look at players that may have committed bad challenges etc but not incorrect corners. Several corners today from Leeds clearly showed the ball overhang was not on the line, if they’d have scored from one of them then var should ...

Didn't see the Vyds chance or any of the game today. At times Vyds likes to take that extra touch to come across the defender, was that the case here ? He's done ever so well to win the ball, get past the defenders and into the box on the left hand side. I honestly believe he'd have scored had he s...

I’d much prefer to clothes shop in person than online but the choice of “men shops” in Burnley is woeful, Burtons was the only place that had a decent amount of options but even then didn’t always have what I wanted.

Players like Harrison show there are loan players out there who would improve our squad. If they are signing him for 10 million that is an absolute steal.

I know he is officially on loan but when did a loan player last go way past 100 league games for a club?

The likes of Liverpool require their loaned out players to get a minimum amount of game time and therein lies the problem. If said player isn't performing, we are obliged to pick them regardless. We tried to sign a young Spurs player on loan in 2013. All looked good although they wanted a lot from ...

Spot on . I so often find myself agreeing with CT but to say that Vydra is ‘culpable’ for what was a very good save is a bit harsh!

I don't think he'd have had a chance of saving it had Vyds not taken that extra touch. Dyche described it as a golden chance.

I know what you're saying and yes, you're probably right, but as regards some of his points in the OP. There surely is a sensible debate to be had over whether the so often brilliant Barnes still has what it takes at this level and possibly the same debate re Jayrod. And whether if Pope moves on BP...

I honestly don't think the OP is blatant knee jerking. It's summing up what has been apparent pretty much all season and I don't believe it's based solely on today. The opening post, like our mounting issues on the field, goes far deeper than that. It's blatant overreacting and knee jerking because...

Why did the ref let Leeds take that corner when he'd just seen on VAR it wasn't a corner?

Because VAR can't be used for changing corners to goal kicks

Certainly wasn’t poor

We get posts on these threads dropping points for missed chances etc and I thought he made two big errors today that could have seen us get to 1-1 but go 2-0 behind. He’s played so well recently but I just don’t get a 6 or 7 today for him.

You're just disappointed.

And your ratings have put the blame on the goalkeeper yet you thought we played well despite losing 4-0.

ClaretTony

Can I ask what is persuading people to give Vydra ratings of 6 & even 7?

I’ve rated him 4 because he should have scored at 0-1 and then set up their second with a poor header. Both those were costly so I really don’t get the high ratings for him today.

BPF 5
Lowton 5
Tarkowski 4
Mee 5
Taylor 6
Brownhill 4
Westwood 5
Cork 5
McNeil 5
Wood 5
Vydra 4

Rodriguez 5
Barnes 5
JBG 5

ClaretTony

Please leave ratings for all players who have played 20 mins or more.

Scoring is from 3 to 10 as follows:

10 - Out of this World
9 - Excellent
8 - Very Good
7 -Good
6 - Average
5 - Below Par
4 - Poor
3 - Abysmal

Please note: all three subs require ratings

Two perfectly good chances we’ve created and not taken. They have.

One of them at 1-0 and about two mins before they scored again

Strange one with Pope, in that he didn't seem in any distress against Fulham....unless I missed it.

Not been fit since it happened a few weeks ago but played through it. He'll need to get himself fit for the Euros so I don't expect to see him again this season.

So maybe you can understand why several people on this site are a little perplexed with the ticket situation.

I think most of us are perplexed at the whole farce from season tickets to the way this has been processed.
